A dramatic black and white image of a towering, kilometer-high cliff on the nucleus of Comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko, captured by the ESA's Rosetta spacecraft in 2014. The rugged cliff contrasts with the relatively smooth terrain at its base, scattered with large boulders. This image reveals the unique surface features of a comet and highlights the remarkable discoveries made by the Rosetta mission.
